Rockhampton Race 4 - Phil Peel Jewellers (Bm70)
THE DEFENDER (4) is the one to beat after putting four wins together, most recently scoring comfortably in CL3 company here despite being held up in the straight. Loves the 1200m and keeps McIver in the saddle. Can continue on his merry way. SUJEED (7) rises out of BM55 grade but gets a major weight drop. Satherley goes back on, and the first-time visors give him scope to sharpen after two sound efforts at this venue. MELO MELO KAVA (6) was solid when third in a CL4 here first-up, has weight relief and should appreciate stretching out the extra 150m this time. DETERMINATION (1) brings proven track-and-trip credentials and gets weight relief after racing wide early when fourth at Mackay. Drawn kinder this time and is one to keep in mind.

Finished fourth first-up in a BM65 at Mackay, beaten just under five lengths after racing wide early and failing to quicken on soft ground. The start prior was stronger, when second at Mackay and beaten just over a length after working into the race and fighting on. Proven at this track and distance, with the class rise the main query.

Went close in Class 5 company at Townsville last start, finishing third and beaten just over half a length after knuckling at the start and still travelling into it strongly. His previous fourth over 1000m had merit too, given he raced wide throughout and was not beaten far at generous odds. Handles good ground and looks a sound place chance on that Townsville form.

Won first-up at Bundaberg over 1090m, beating Gold Revolution by a length and a half as favourite, but this is a much harder assignment coming out of picnic company on a 10-day back-up. His start prior was a Class 4 win at this track, where he led and kept finding with something in hand. The track-and-trip record is a plus, but he has to lift again. Worth including.

Comes here in excellent order with four wins in a row, the latest a Class 3 success at this track when he beat Ellibaby by a length and a half after being held up in the straight. Two back he was dominant at Thangool as a very short odds-on favourite, winning by just over two lengths. Proven at the trip, gets McIver again and looks the horse to beat.

Placed in a four-runner race at this track last start but was beaten just under six lengths after being slow away, so the bare placing flatters her. The run prior was a BM65 sixth here at big odds, where she made some late ground from well back without threatening. Must find plenty more.

Resumed with a solid third in Class 4 company at this track over 1050m, beaten just under two lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing keenly through the middle stages. Her previous start was a Mackay second in BM55 grade, where she travelled well and was run down late. Honest profile, though the winning strike rate keeps her in place territory.

Has not been far away in two BM55 runs at this track, finishing fifth last start when beaten two and a half lengths after beginning slowly, hanging out and getting onto heels near the 300m. The start prior was a fourth when close enough but unable to finish off. Has BM55 form to overcome, but the setup gives him a strong chance.

Finished last of six in a BM60 at this track last start, beaten five lengths after settling rearward and offering no clear excuse. The start prior was only fair in BM65 grade, finishing seventh and beaten five and a half lengths despite making some late inroads. Weight relief helps, but others bring stronger recent form.
